Buffy Lives!


... sort of.

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon is writing a new six-issue Buffy mini-series for Dark Horse Comics. The first volume is due out in October. A Dark Horse spokesperson has confirmed to ICv2 that the new series chronicles events that happened to Buffy and her friends after the conclusion of their televised adventures and will function as a "Season 8" to the highly popular cult hit TV series that ran for seven seasons."

So I've dealt with Joss penning comics before, and... he always takes longer than he says he will. But still, a realization of an eighth season of Buffy penned by the man himself? I. Am. So. There. Sure, we won't have Aly and Sarah and Nick in the flesh, but it's the next best thing.

Could I be any more curious about what Joss forsees the Scoobs having been up to since we last saw them? Well, we know Buff's been in Europe, we saw a fake-SMG head of blonde hair on Angel its last season. Sleeping with a vampire again, Dawn's getting edumacated abroad, and the rest of everyone's training the Slayers in training.

Of course, Angel ended a season after Buffy did, and ended with the final Armageddon (not one of those piddling ones that happened every three episodes or so for years) just beginning. I think they might have to delve into that, just maybe.

Will we see Spike? Or maybe Anya will rise from the dead and kill them all... I'd be up for that!

Oh, Anya... poor Anya.

Here's a list of my favorite Buffy episodes ever.
